Text-Encoding and HTTP-Request

we proudly present: another annoying question by Haruki

I'm getting some Information from the WWW, using HTTP-Request.

The returned Text seems to be utf-8 encoded... everything works fine, until I receive special characters like ñ or ç, à, é and so on... these character arrive scrambled (means: unreadable...)

can I change the encoding of Text, received by a HTTP-Request?

Thanks y'all!
